Knocking on wood big time on this one... I have been driving for 4 years and have yet to be pulled over (3 years in a 9-5). I'm a cautious driver and obey the rules but flying past a well-hidden police officer with a radar out is inevitable. I have zoomed by a well-positioned cop doing 15-20mph over the limit multiple times (this morning for example). By well positioned I mean you can't see them until you're right in front of them. Each time with a heart-sinking cringe, waiting for him (or her?) to pull out behind me. But it just doesn't happen!
I asked my friend about this; he has an NG900. He says he notices the same thing. He's only been pulled over once in his Saab for his exhaust being too loud (since fixed). He used to have a beater Mitsubishi and would get pulled over ALL THE TIME for speeding.
I kind of figured I had to be extra careful in my car because I might come off as some rich "Snaab" (NOT the case for me - most people don't know Saabs' resale values) flying by that was a perfect target for a ticket. Maybe that's not the case though? Do you think officers tend to target speeders who appear to be lower-income? I'm not saying I'm going to go out and do 15-20 over the limit all the time,; I'm just wondering if anyone else on here has noticed this and it might be an interesting topic to discuss.
